Presentation
Students are
to create a presentation using google slides or PowerPoint. Students are to
write a 2–3-page paper answering prompts, to accompany presentation.
1st
draft of the presentation. This should include your main topic and minimum of 5
fully completed slides.
Students can
use google slides, but to hand in you must download it, and submit as a pdf or
pptx file.
Objective: Focus on 1 topic from class, and
create a PowerPoint presentation of how it changed over time. The time period should roughly cover the
1800s and 1900s, as relevant. The topic should be one of the main topics from
the course, not something that did not get much coverage.
A student
should demonstrate understanding of the topic, based on knowledge from this
course, as well as an understanding of how the topic changed over time. The student can consider in what ways the
topic changed. The student should state or
propose why or how the topic changed.
There should be close attention to time periods based on approximate
decades, not vague large periods such as “the 1900s.”
*If you
choose a women’s history topic it must relate to gender and sexuality. There should not be a women’s general
political history.
